Cactuar Crate: Planar Disturbances

The skeez bone guy

 

Not an SL champion

 

amazingly sometimes FW is allowed to keep its champions as solely FW champs.

 

Aah my bad. But not gunna lie, full rare,unc,com skeez looks good.

 

skeez is a pretty good theme deck

 

You can tell that the diehard FW players are losing a lot of traction with the developers. In the good old days they would have fought hard to keep demonologist, demonvein vampyre, and demonlich as the ffFW champs they were always intended to be.

 

All those mentioned do better as ud. More has to do with vampire bonus synergy. Demonlich has built in amp fire, so that's going to be useless in 95% of fw decks.

 

Arrow eater type abilities have faded from modern games, because they punish a player instead of simply disallowing. I don't mind it with pox so much, since alot of the challenge is keeping your turn under 1.45

Precision just needs to go through it though. Consolidate loss of life and precision imo.

 

These 2 abilities are not related. Consolidating them makes no sense

 

- I always thought elusive should work as it currently does but have a condition....either "After this champion attacks it gains..." or be an activate with a CD. Then it can be less nora but also distinguish itself further from arroweater.

 

If it moves at least one space

 

Honestly, if Arrow Eater was to be changed in that way, I'd rather just replace it with Elusive. That's a bigger discussion, of course, and one we've discussed.

One thing I've been thinking about is basically a middle ground between the 2 abilities, something like Elusive which is countered by Precision, but would also only take 50% DMG in those instances.

From the perspective of abilities, it'd mean that Precision counters Evasive 3 fully, while Elusive/Arrow Eater would be countered by 50%.

Alternatively, Arrow Eater would be reduced to 50% reduction in ranged damage, while providing a buffer offensive buff (maybe AP instead of DMG even) and costing less.

No code time for that right now either way, but it is on my list of things to consider.

Decided to go ahead and make a discussion threaed in the UD forums:

Or just consolidate loss of life to counter both arrow eater and elusive. I understand that your intention is good, but it might not lead to a truly desired outcome. Take a look at mirrored, which albeit strong, exemplifies why diverging attack types can lead to imbalances further down the road.

 

- Basically...without becoming too similar to that old strig walk a couple spaces become invincible thingy

 

Oh ya forgot that old ability wasn't it move 4 and dodge 1 attack and it stacked 3 times

 

Explain why xulous and tomblord both have attack psychic, and how losing games to spot psychic immunity is fun.

Precision - gives consistency to ranged attacks.

Loss of life - gives consistency to attacks.

If you pay me I can explain these incredibly difficult theorems further.
